Testimonials

“This book should be in their hands the moment the marriage is over. It’s a gold mine – an extremely valuable tool.”
~Dr. Larry Russell, Pastor and Counselor

“Ms. O’Brien shares the lessons she has learned about redefining identity and family relationships, finding one’s place in the church, and coping with the remarriage of one’s former spouse. Throughout the book, it is clear that personal interaction with God is the key to survival and growth.”
~American Association of Christian Counselors Resource Review (AACC)

“You have done an excellent piece of work on encouraging those who have gone through the pain of divorce. Thank you for your honesty and insightfulness and I trust that the Lord will use your work to bring healing to many.”
~Dr. Clyde Cook, President, Biola University

“It is a wonderful book? real, humorous in appropriate ways, transparent, wise and very practical too. Those of us who had husbands who chose to leave for ‘greener pastures’ could relate in ways that affirm our own personal and painful experience.”
~Mary Ulick, Rebuilders-Divorce Recovery, Willow Creek Community Church

“Thank you for your wonderful book Formerly A Wife. I never thought that I would find myself in such straits and it seems to me to have happened so quickly. You have done a wonderful job of covering the subject and its attendant fall-out. I had almost given up, but your practical solutions prepare me for hope. Thank you very much!”
